Smooth Like Caramel, a new single by Alexx Magic is set for release today, Friday May 12, 2023. The song's new-romantic theme sung in high falsetto, accompanied by baroque harpsichords, squishy and sexy sounding synths, and a fat pulsing beat are sure to charm listeners of R&B, Hip-hop, Psychedelic Rock and Alternative or Indie Pop alike. Complete with a sensual and nostalgic all-VHS music video from Brazilian cinematographer Gustavo Bighetti showcasing the romance of Alexx Magic and his wife Monik Gama, Smooth Like Caramel stands to appeal to a wide audience - one of nostalgia, retro, casette tapes, VHS and vintage-loving fanatics everywhere.
Shot by Gustavo Bighetti, a Brazilian lo-fi VHS video producer, in a sultry Brazilian motel, the music video is immediately entrancing with it's nostalgic and pixelated colors like watching an old TV screen. Through the motel's quirky and funky decor emerges Alexx Magic in a caramel-colored suit thrifted from somewhere in São Paulo and we are met by his wife garnering various chic night dresses. Alexx totes a guitar made of flowers and clear transparent epoxy as the scene is set for magic and romance. Give this video a rotation on Youtube and one might find themselves repeat-playing this banger all night long.

lyrics
Baby you’re smooth like caramel
Legs so long they reach the corner
Of my wounded heart
Ripping me apart
From your toes
To your nose knows
You’re smooth like caramel
Sweet and slowly
Baby you’re smooth like caramel
Legs so long they reach the corner
Of my wounded heart
Ripping me apart
From your toes
To your nose knows
You’re smooth like caramel
Sweet and slowly
